"I'm very supportive of Howie, and if there's any criticism coming from afar about Howie, it's just off-base, and so I will support Howie completely, because that's not right."

He then followed that up by taking a shot at Banner, who is now the CEO of the Browns:

"And, you know, if there are league sources that are really based in Cleveland, that's not right. We see through it all."

Banner responded with a statement, part of which read:

"Any implication that I had anything to do with Jason La Canfora's story is completely false, outrageous and borders on being libelous."

Lurie added that he still believes his relationship with Banner can be salvaged, but that's no fun for the rest of us. We'd prefer to see this rivalry grow, purely for entertainment purposes. Unfortunately, the Eagles don't play the Browns again until 2016.
